Plan Schedule Management Process
All knowledge areas consist of a plan on how that
knowledge area is to be developed.
This process creates the Schedule Management Plan.
Key inputs to this process are the Project Management
Plan, Project Charter, Enterprise Environmental Factors,
and Organizational Process Assets.
Same inputs as in the Scope Management Plan.
A Project Manager will use Expert Judgment, Analytical
Techniques, and Meetings to develop the Schedule
Management Plan.

Activity List, Network Diagrams, Activity Resource
Requirements, Resource Calendars, Risk Register, Resource
Breakdown Structure, Project Scope Statement, Activity
Attributes, Project Staff Assignments, Enterprise Environmental
Factors, and Organizational Process Assets.
